Just by uttering, "Hey Siri , I like this song", HomePod and Apple Music become the "musicologist", recognising preferences from hundreds of genres and moods, across various playlists, and shares them across devices.

Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has stressed the importance of Apple's services business, predicting it will double in size by 2021. "A big question mark for the new speaker, though, is whether Siri is good enough to power its own dedicated device".
